What strikes me is how the extraconstitutional principle of judicial supremacy is accepted by conservatives. Judicial review ought to apply only to the case in controversy. Even a Supreme Court decision is only a precedent. Now it is taken as an edict.

Agreed, SCOTUS is but one of three branches UNDER the rule of law (self evident from God and in all other matter from the people)...

Decisions such as Dred Scot, Plessy and Roe v. Wade, show how the court can screw things up.
